Description

As Cummings:Kuenssberg gives us yet more Classic Dom content, are we now fine with unelected advisors trying to topple Prime Ministers – or for that matter, Prime Ministers giving the Queen COVID? Freedom Week: has the Government just given up trying to control the virus? Special guest Charles Arthur, author of Social Warming: The Dangerous and Polarising Effects of Social Media, explain the forces that make Facebook and Twitter increasingly noxious. And 60 glorious years of Prime Minister’s Questions.


“Cummings’ sniggering face when he gives his answers tells you far more than the answers themselves.” – Ian Dunt



“If you shove everyone into a room and make them talk to one another, you’re going to get fights.” – Charles Arthur



“PMQs is the absolute worst of Parliament and the best at the same time.” – Minnie Rahman



“You do not go for the barricades for the most embarrassing people on your side.” – Dorian Lynskey
